video game marketing

Is it just me, or am I noticing alot more marketing of video games on TV these days.
Halo, GTA, Getaway:black monday, mercenaries, I see the commericals everytime I turn the TV on.

is the marketing getting more aggressive and widespread?

Much more older people, famous people, girls are starting to game.
It used to be seen as a hobby for little boys, but i think of games just the same way as a movie or a book, only interactive. I always wanna have a good story to follow.

anyway, gaming is getting popular these days. Im also noticing a increase in gamestores and the size and location ( prime locations in cities, hella expansive ground, about 10,000 a square meter a year )

Gaming has crossed over into the mainstream, mainly due to Sony's Playstation 1.

Annually, the gaming industry brings in more cash than the movie biz.

The game creaters are trying to appeal to a larger audience than earlier times.

Apparently, there are more female gamers in the US than there are male... Kinda hard to believe.

Gaming is a way of life.

today the gaming scene is like a job... you can be very rich if your the best in the world for example: the clan "SK" in cs, they earn lots of euros every tournament.
